In 1961 our company had very few bucket trucks, so we would have climbed one of the poles and spliced one end of a new span length of conductor to the tail of the conductor on that pole. do that to all the damaged conductors, go to the other pole and pull them up, get them all sagged and splice them on the 2nd pole. Course there's gonna have to be some temp. guying in this also cause the wood poles would be aleaning a bit. don;t know why they weren't broke. Ain't much difference than a big tree falling down thru the line. On the ground is on the ground don't matter how it got there.
Just researched Fl. 706 Graig, You do a good job on the re-enactment video on You- Tube
